Thrustmaster T-Freestyle NW is your next Wii skate / snowboard controller
Too broke to pay Tony Hawk's royalties on a Wii skateboard / snowboard? Yeah, we feel you, and evidently Thrustmaster does too. Said peripheral outfit has just introduced its newest Wii accessory, the T-Freestyle NW. Designed with work with any skate or snowboard game that lands on Ninten...
Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime squashes Wii HD rumors... again
Oh, brother. Here we go again. Just over a year after Nintendo's own Reggie Fils-Aime denied the existence of a forthcoming Wii HD, the bigwig is having to make that very same denial again. Naturally, a few new rumors of an HD-enabled Wii have surfaced since that fateful day in October of 2008,...

"Baby and Me"特别版包括Wiimote手柄娃娃 (1 回應)
分类: 游戏产品 一款新的，janktastic Wii品牌的玩具被命名为"Baby and Me"（不要与"婴儿的我"歌曲混淆了），该玩具开始限量发行，它的特殊之处在于玩具中还包括一个"附件"娃娃。过去这款Wiimote玩具的设计可以与任何玩偶相配合来玩，但如果你的孩子希望获得真正的与婴儿玩的经验，这款特别版Wiimote是合适的选择。实际玩的时候，可以体验婴儿摇晃踢腾的感觉，通过平衡板让儿童体验教婴儿走路的感觉，通过内置的扬声器娃娃能够发出咯咯声和打嗝声。这像是在照顾一个真正婴儿。
主机销售下滑又没强作拉抬，任天堂获利 "软趴趴" (0 回應)
那么，怪物DS情况有比较好吗？很抱歉，跟去年同期相比，DS销售也下滑了15%，岩田老大也判断造成销售下滑的原因，是上半年没有强力软件发行导致（这个应该连俗辣也知道...）看来年末商战，老任只能寄望Wii版超级玛莉翻转战局，不过我们还是比较好奇，DSi LL可以贡献多少利润？直觉老任把DSi加大，应该是主打银发族市场，前阵子日本官方才公布，65岁以上老人已占日本人口将近1/4，老任大概看准这点，要让日本老人个个人手一台DSi LL，如果成功，我觉得要比靠Wii版超级玛利扭转战局要屌多了（...
'Baby and Me' special edition includes Wiimote-ready doll

Video: WODE module allows disc-free, wide-open, heavy metal Wii gaming
What you see above is not a Tibetan sky burial for a dearly departed console, nor an attempt at extremely modern art. It's a Wii that has been... augmented with a Linux-running module called the Wii Optical Disc Emulator, or WODE. It clips onto the system board where the machine's optical drive s...

New study finds close to one quarter of Xbox 360s fail within two years
Sure, it's not exactly news to hear that the Xbox 360 is the most unreliable console of the big three, but just how unreliable is it? Now there's a point of contention. The good news for Microsoft, of sorts, is that a new study from SquareTrade found that just 23.7% of Xbox 360 consoles failed wi...

Motion control wars: Xbox 360 and PS3 are playing catch-up with Wii next year, who will do it right?
Of course, that's all about to change next year, with the emergence of the Microsoft's Project Natal and Sony's PlayStation motion controller. Typical thinking would suggest that Sony and Microsoft will be attempting to capture a slice of the casual gaming market that the Wii has so well...
Nintendo's Iwata: Wii could be around for three, five, or eight more years

Man hacks GameCube controller for the Wii with tremendous effort
Update: As a bunch of commenters have pointed out, this can be done already by plugging the GameCube controller directly into the Wii. However, this mod lets you do it wirelessly -- err, if you don't count the big microcontroller and mess of wires.

Wii Zapper hands-on
What do you want? The Wii Zapper is literally just a piece of plastic that you strap your Wiimote and nunchuck into -- it doesn't add any buttons or otherwise change anything about how the controllers are used. In other words, you don't even need this thing to play the games it's intended for -...

Wii hacked with LPT cable instead of modchip?

DVD-playin' Wii coming in 2007?
